Dear Secretary Tom Price

Myself and a group of friends would like to do some extensive traveling during the coming months.

We were wondering if we could fly on the taxpayers’ dime to the tune of over a million dollars worth of airfare, for which we will happily reimburse the government $52,000.

Thanks in advance!!!

Price took military jets to Europe, Asia for over $500K

Accompanied by his wife, the HHS secretary journeyed to Geneva, Berlin, Beijing, Tokyo and other cities for events.

*Just now...Now they exceed $1,000,000


But we had to make cuts to Meals on Wheels Hypocrites

And Tom price always complained about govt spending waste.

... a while ago that what was originally estimated to be $400,000 worth of chartered flights for Price is actually more like a million dollars.

They're also discussing the fact that Trump is extremely pissed-off about this (because it makes HIM look bad, they were quick to point out) - which is laughable in light of the price tag for Idiot Boy's weekend golfing trips.

GOP hypocrisy on parade!!!

for those flights by his Administration. His only concern is that it doesn't get exposed.

And as the folks on CNN were quick to point out, The Idiot is ONLY concerned with how this reflects on HIM - the waste of taxpayer money doesn't even enter into it.

tomorrow's news dump.
Bet this was leaked by the WH. He's probably going to be indicted for insider trading.
